The other kind of travel and leisure blog
The durian aka stinky fruit day 9 started with a challenge. Some of you may be familiar with the durian (in this post I posted a picture of the durians with peel :D), also known as stinky fruit and it's no secret that many people have a problem with this fruit. I have to admit, when I was younger I could smell the...
Where will we go today? To a sugar cane plantation! I love sugar cane, I remember it from Vietnam! You can snack on it or squeeze it and drink the juice. I'm definitely an absolute sugar cane fan :D Finally a day when we could sleep in =) We were very comfortably awakened by the sun's rays and the ever louder...
Today's workshop was about sex education. For us Germans, this was nothing new, since sex education already takes place in elementary school here. But for our Chinese exchange partners, this was all still uncharted territory. Not only because Asians hardly ever talk about sex, but also because Asians have a "face"/look and if someone with a disability has sex, then it is simply unimaginable....
What do tai chi and twitching have to do with each other? I'll tell you in the course of the article 😀 A young lady with only one arm and one leg stood in front of us. She is a former GETCH student, her name was Miko and she would be leading today's workshop on "Independent Living". Many people don't even realize what a luxury that is...
There's a woman sitting in front of you and she starts telling you that something is wrong with her daughter. That's how today's workshop started. Somehow the whole thing irritated us...is the woman serious or is it just an act? I think that was the question we were all asking ourselves.
I'll tell you why it's important to pay attention to your surroundings in today's report ^^ But now it's finally time for the project to really get going! Our first week in China is all about facts, facts and more facts. It's all about discovering new perspectives, exchanging information with our exchange partners and learning about the different...
The first morning in China. Do you know that feeling of waking up in another country, that different view when you open your eyes, the unusual smell? Such an exciting feeling, right? I love that, it gives me some “Oh-my-god-I-am-abroad-and-I-am-having-an-adventure”-Feeling.
It was already noon when we finally landed in China. I can't believe it, I flew more than 10 hours despite my wheelchair and now I have landed here in China. I would not have dreamed of this in my wildest dreams. With enough planning, flying with a handicap is possible!
O.M.G. is this really happening?! Today is the day I will fly as a "normal" passenger for the first time since my brain hemorrhage. Normal passenger? Yes, because when I was flown back to Germany after my brain hemorrhage (because I was in Australia for vacation), I had to lie down the whole time. Flying lying down is really boring! Well, if...
Hi there =) As some of you know through my "About Me" page, I am in a wheelchair. But that doesn't stop me from traveling! I just love traveling, it was like that before my brain hemorrhage and it is still like that now. Should you be unsure about traveling, whether in a wheelchair or not, then I would like to help you with this blog....
